The Growth of  Operations Research (OR) in Decision Support...

From the use of Linear and Non-Linear Programming, Sensitivity Analysis, Network Flow Modeling, Stochastic Flow Process Modeling, Time Markov Chain Modeling and Discrete Event Simulation Modeling to Queuing and Simulation Modeling, we use a raft of OR methods and models to solve your toughest business challenges.

When finished, we don't leave you with a "black box", but we go to painstaking lengths to simplify our models so that with the right level of training and appropriate level of hand-off you own the product independent of our analysts. We call this the Build, Transfer, Operate (BTO) model that puts you firmly in the driver's seat to make future informed decisions without us.

Should you need us however, we are only a phone call away.

See Industrial Engineering for our inter-disciplinary (i.e., applying IE and OR) approach to transforming Complex Processes, Systems and Machinery).

Operations Research and : A Defense Capability Challenge Today...

Imagine trying to figure out how to strategically face off and defeat an enemy given a limited number of planes, thousands of miles of coastline, a limited number of ships, limited submarine strength, limited weapons, and limited men.

The questions arise: "where should we position our limited forces, in what numbers, when, at what intervals along the 2,200 mile shoreline, how, in what configurations given threat levels?" - We could go on, but you get the picture - its a complex decision paradigm.

A fast growing Global Business Challenge:

Today Change has become a constant...

Competitors come and go - products come and go - markets evolve - the global market place shifts allegiances and so we are left wondering "where and what is the most effective place and way to conduct business today, and - what should our business construct be?"

Multi-goal programming is one of our most powerful OR approaches to making decisions. It allows us to take all your critical decision parameters into account and to find optimal solutions that meet specific goals (i.e., with due regard for what we refer to as primary, secondary and third tier goals).

SHOWN: 2-DIMENSIONAL MULTIPROGRAMMING MODEL - TYPICAL MODELS CARRY SEVERAL COMPETING OBJECTIVE FUNCTIONS

We never tell clients our models will solve all their problems, as no model really can - but what we do tell them is that the models we build them are the closest they will get to realistically asssessing the impact their decisions will most likely have on their future.

Coupled with powerful decision alternatives, you will be best placed to develop your business with your strategic and operational intent front and center.

All things considered, that beats "not knowing".
